What was confederate money made of?
Please don’t tell me paper, just like the US, in the United States money is 100% cotton and linen rag stock. Not paper. I was just wondering if confederate money was made the same way.

What do you think paper is? Just because something is called paper doesn't necessarily mean it is made from wood pulp. The very best writing paper has always had a high linen and/or cotton content. So, yes, the paper stock that the Crane company produces for the manufacture of US currency is called paper, not "cloth", because (hint) it's not woven or knitted.
I have not found any record of the fiber content breakdown of Confederate paper notes, but I would imagine they would have to have a high cotton content and likely linen as well. It would need to be sturdy and flexible.
